THE CHALLENGE

MAKE A FILM that is one minute or less!

The One Minute Movie Contest is the most democratic way to discover new voices and bring them into the Outfest family. When the theme is announced, aspiring and established filmmakers alike use their cell phones or cameras to shoot a one-minute short film on the topic. All the submissions are screened at the Fusion Finale Party, followed by audience voting and an announcement of the winners.

THEME

This year’s theme is MICRO AGGRESSIONS… / MACRO QUEER…

Filmmakers are able to pick one of the categories OR incorporate both into their one-minute film. We encourage you to be creative with the theme!

*As a reminder, this is an LGBTQ film festival and the content or creator should reflect that.

REGISTER
